Hello,

I have a question about emacs on the PC (I'm invoking emacs at the DOS
prompt).  In your sample _emacs.xmpl file, you have a statement which sets
the size of the emacs window to 80x50 as opposed to 80x25 - the (mode4350)
statement.  I like the bigger emacs window, but it's a little too big, since
my emacs menu bar and my emacs display bar (the area which displays the time,
how far along you are in a certain file, etc.) disappear at times when I
scroll up and down.  Is there any way to create, say, an 80x45 window, for
example?  I know that with UNIX, one can specify the geometry size of an emacs
window in an .Xdefaults file, or by specifiying a geometry flag when invoking
the emacs command...can one do similar things with DOS emacs?  I'm very new
to DOS.

Also, are you by any chance familiar with running the tpu-edt emulator with 
emacs?  I'm trying to find a way to get the Numlock key on my keypad to remap 
to the PF1 key, since this key is the workhorse for many emacs commands under 
the tpu-edt emulator...

Thanks a lot,
Joe Swiatek
